sad but true
yep, we lost. dr. fact got the best of us. we were sad. but in the interest of a united front, i won't be making any excuses either. we lost to the team that had come in 2nd the two previous times. and we do get to go back next month to take back what is rightfully ours.
this time around, here's questions we should have answered correctly but either changed our minds about or couldn't agree on or were just dumb:
1. How many movies did Clint Eastwood make in the Dirty Harry series?
2. What is the tallest mountain in Western Europe?
3. How long is Long Island: 200 miles, 90, 66, 35 or 110?
4. How many territories are there in Canada?
5. How many people are killed by Tigers in an average year: 5, 10, 50, or 100?
6. Who played Cyrus 'the Virus' Grissom in ConAir?
7. What was the only year (besides 1980) that the US did not win the gold medal in basketball?

I'll give you missing #6, it was one of those two. (You should have just called me) But the fact that you missed #7 indicates to me that you were having an off night.

i'm responsible for talking us out of malkovich. i'm also responsible for talking us out of the tiger mauling figure. i went against the logic of "always pick C."

I had no idea about thenumber of Dirty Harry movies, although I was part of the two time GW sports trivia challenge champions. It's not as prestigious as Dr. Fact but GW discontinued the tournament after our second championship because we so dominated the event that interest dried up.

Hey, I did that sports trivia challenge as well. We got slaughtered, mostly because all we did was argue with each other.
BTW Jamie, did you hear that the boys' basketball team of your high school alma mater is playing in the state semifinals Thursday night?

Marc, I think the only one of us who didn't talk the others out of a correct answer was Kaci. So don't be taking too much responsibility on yourself. If we keep going back and winning two out of every three months, that'll be a good system. We can say we lost this one on purpose if that works out. I must say for the record though, I am extremely proud of being the one who got the Reggie Jackson question right (Who's the only person ever to be named MVP in 2 World Series?).
